Epillyss Wax Products - Epillyss Depilatory Wax, Gels, Creams & Rolls

While both depilatory creams and waxing are effective treatments for hair removal, they work quite differently. Depilatory cream is made up of ‘hair softening’ chemicals that will remove hair above the skin. Hair removal wax removes the hair follicle completely down to the root. Both processes have pros and cons. While depilatory cream can be used on any hair length and carry a lower risk of ingrown hairs, it is also known to have a strong or unpleasant smell, may be irritating to sensitive skin as it consists of synthetic chemicals and allows for quicker hair regrowth. Waxing is time efficient and results can last for 4 to 6 weeks, but is often a painful process that can leave behind irritated skin and an ‘in-between’ period of regrowth where the hair is too short to be effectively removed with wax.

After waxing, remove residue from the skin with a quality wax remover. We also recommend applying a cooling gel to soothe the area. Post-wax products containing aloe vera have anti-inflammatory properties to soothe irritated skin and help reduce redness.

Depilatory wax is a hair removal product that comes in both soft and hard forms. Hard wax, or stripless wax, is applied to the treatment area using an applicator stick, allowed to fully harden and removed by creating a lip of wax to grab onto. Soft depilatory wax is applied similarly but is removed with waxing strips. While both forms effectively remove hair, an experienced waxer will know the best one to use based on hair coarseness, length and treatment area.

Épillys depilatory gels are unique waxing alternatives that were biochemically created to stick to the hair and minimize traction to the skin. This innovative discovery has follicle-dilating properties proven to be less painful and equally effective as other waxing products. Used similarly to soft wax, Épillyss gel treatments garner great results with the use of less product. Popular options include lavender-based Épillyss Millenia Lukewarm Depilatory Gel, ultra-thin Épillyss Sensor Lukewarm Depilatory Gel, and Épillyss Cocooning Lukewarm Depilatory Gel for sensitive skin.
